        The purpose of this paper is to assess the quality of services delivered in “Police+10 offices” through the application of the SERVQUAL approach, which is an instrument for measuring service quality and identifying and analyzing the existing gaps between the expectations and perceptions of those who receive these services. In this paper, we examine the extent of existing gaps between the expectations and the services perceived by the customers of “Police +10 offices” in each of the five service quality dimensions, and then ranking these service quality dimensions on the basis of their relative importance from the customers’ viewpoints. The present research method is applied in its goals and objectives, and is descriptive with regard to the type and nature of the issue, goals, and research questions. We used a surveying method to gather information. All customers of the “Police +10” offices in Tehran form the statistical population of this investigation. Of this population, a statistical sample of 283 people was selected; they were given a standard questionnaire, which is referable in international studies, and the data collected by statistical methods were used for testing the research assumptions. The results of this investigation showed that there are gaps in the customers’ expectations of services and services delivered to them by the “police +10 offices” in all five service quality dimensions. As to the relative importance of each of these dimensions, assurance was the most important dimension, followed in order by reliability, responsibility, and empathy. Tangibles were the least important dimension.

        Logistic, which was considered by the public as a military technique, in the civilian realm has been formed of a set of various disciplines and fields. But in this article we lay stress on the aspects merely related to freight handling.Current research, in terms of its purpose, is practical and in terms of data gathering method is a  descriptive and surveying research. Using a questionnaire, the attitude of the subjects was examined and using the AMOS software, SPSS, we obtained descriptive and inferential statistics and SEM design. The results show that all five dimensions of reliability, tangibility, assurance, responsiveness, and empathy are related to each other. A remarkable point in this research is the negative relationship between the two dimensions of responsiveness and tangibility of services. With further research, the study has concluded that transport companies, despite the lack of or shortage of transportation equipment, by using lorries which aren’t in their own business possession , they meet their obligations and try to keep their customers satisfied and maintain their share of the competitive market.

        The SERVQUAL method is one of the most applied methods for assessment of service quality which have a hierarchical structure including a few main dimensions and a few items, which analyzes the distance between expectations and perceptions of received services for each of the items. On the other hand, the qualities of services are mental and concrete concepts which their indexes are determined in linguistic vocabulary with ambiguity. Therefore, in this paper a joint SERVQUAL and hierarchical TOPSIS method was assessed, and to deal with ambiguity of the data, the concepts of type-2 fuzzy sets were used. The proposed method for assessment the quality of services, the outline of urban transportation in Sharekurd including, bus, tour taxi and public taxi were used. The results showed that, altogether tour taxi has the highest level of service quality, and public taxi and bus were next respectively. Manuscript profile

        This research attempts to measure the service quality and investigate the relationship between service quality and market share of Saderat Bank of Iran in Tabriz city. For this purpose, SERVQUAL model has been used which is the most reliable instrument to indicate and analyze the gaps between customers’ expectation and perception of their received banking services.

In this correlation research, 440 of Saderat Bank’s customers were selected by cluster random sampling and were administered by SERVQUAL questionnaire. Finally 400 questionnaires were correctly filled and data analyzing procedure started. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis methods, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, correlated group T coefficient and multiple regressions. The findings of this research indicated that there was a significant difference between customers’ expectation and their perception in all of the service dimensions except reliability. Also there was a positive correlation between reliability, responsiveness and assurance with market share, and finally reliability was the most important predictor of Saderat Bank’s market share.

Patient satisfaction is considered as a reliable tool for reviewing and evaluating the quality of care received from them. the research conducted in the field of quality of service survey, and satisfaction of patients in hospitals of the country. To this end, research has been carried out on the topic. There are several models to measure patient satisfaction. One of these models is the “SERVQUAL Model”. SERVQUAL is a reliable tool for qualitative evaluation of services. In comparison with other quality assessment methods, it has advantages such as adapting its dimensions to various types of service errors, the relative importance of its five dimensions in perceiving the quality of services by patients, and the ability to analysis on the basis of demographic characteristics and other fields. In the current study, a total of 20 articles related to service quality measurement based on the SERVQUAL Model were selected and reviewed. By measuring the level of gaps in each dimension of the Servqual Model and aggregating the results, the highest and lowest gaps in the five dimensions of the model were obtained demonstrating that the most significant gaps in the research studies were related to tenseness, empathy, assurance (reliability), accountability and trust. It seems that managers of health care centers can use the results of a constructive effort to reduce gaps and increase patient satisfaction. Manuscript profile
